1/6 Sideshow ASH - Evil Dead 2

[Spiderforever 7]

I did not.
I have been watching eBay for a couple of parts I could use to finish up an Ash vs the evil dead custom but until then...
No I did consider it early on but something in the pics I've seen deters me.. that and I'm happy with the one I have [emoji1305]

Well a mass produced figure will never be as special as a small run custom. There is a real charm to that, and knowing that you own something more special and hand crafted has its own value that I understand pretty well, being an owner of several custom pieces. If Beto's Ash were around $400-500, and if he were reasonably responsive and reliable in terms of his time estimates. . .you can bet I would have picked one up at the time.

BUT, I do think the Ash likeness on the SSC figure, at least, is better. I doubt the clothing on the SSC figure is as nice, nor do I suspect the paint and weathering would be. Not at all a fan of the SSC body, but we'll see if it bothers me enough to go to more extreme lengths. The skin tone problem is the main thing putting me off from the get-go. Pretty sure I have a TTM-19 in the attic that I could pull out if need-be, assuming that's not an issue.

Here is my Sideshow Ash with custom shirt. I feel like him with his shirt prior to being torn is more iconic, so I looked high and wide for an adequate shirt, and finally found a light brown one on eBay. I dyed it blue, painted the buttons and stitching (the stitching wouldn't take the dye), and dirtied it up. I also weathered the chainsaw after watching scenes frame by frame, and dirtied the boots as well. For some reason, in the pics his head looks far bigger than it is in real life. I'm happy with how he looks now. I finally have a figure from one of my favorite films ever.

That chainsaw looks awesome!

 

[Reinhardt]

Thanks Jack! Better pics.

So did anyone jump on the wait list here between the 19th and the 23rd?

I think ssc has mostly run out by now. The ex is sold out already.

I saw this shirt online. Ordered one to see how it looks! This one has nicely scaled pockets and collar from the looks of it, they are always a bit big imo. Will need to dirty it up and paint the buttons!

That's a great looking Ash!!! I wish the sculpt looked a little more freaked out though. Just a little psycho in the eyes, he really had that in evil dead 2. This sculpt has more of the attitude of army of darkness.

 

[eczamurai]

And that chainsaw is the best!

 

[Reinhardt]

Thanks ecz!

Regarding my shirt, I agree that the pockets are a bit too big. I do like the tailoring and the material used. It doesn't look too thick. And the buttons are a pretty good size. I'm interested to see what you do with the shirt you ordered! I saw that shirt as well, and really like the pockets, but in the pics the buttons look a bit big and the material a bit too thick. Please post pics when you get it!

I also picked up that shirt. Nice shirt. Good proportions on pocket size. Fits well. Color a little light and material kind of shiny. Cuffs will need work.
Working on Old Ash custom so no pics yet.

I intend on dyeing it! And I will probably use different buttons in the end. Just thought I'd share for those that are making ash figures! What wrong with the cuffs?

 

[pjstan]

I will also dye mine. Just an observation about the shirt. I am using a knock off hot toys body and I couldn't button the cuffs. I hope it is just my individual shirt.
Will remove snaps and sew the cuffs shut.

Oooh that's all? You had me worried ��

 

[eczamurai]

Im planning on using the buttons of my old hot toys joker for ash. Might be an idea for you too? If the buttons bother you that is.

Well your shirt also has more accurately shaped pockets though, I guess it comes down to preference, my current shirt has pockets bigger than yours and a collar that's as big as his neck! Which makes my beto head look even more out of scale (it's a tad small imo, I intend to resculpt it). So it comes down to what you prefer, as there is no 100% accurate shirt unfortunatly.

 

[Reinhardt]

Agreed. Look forward to pics of yours. The size of the pockets on mine are now bugging me. LOL

Oh **** you weren't kidding. I just checked the site and while my wait list is still there, the actual exclusive has been removed. Clicking on it from my WL doesn't even take me to the figure anymore.

I wonder whats gonna happen now.
